DETROIT (WWJ) Snow plows and salt trucks cleared most of the major freeways and roads but WWJ’s Stephanie Davis reports the same can’t be said for some of the back streets.

Driving down the side streets was a bit of a challenge, according to one business person in the area, he saw one snow truck earlier in the day but that was it for the day.

Vehicles seemed to be doing the job of the snow-plows, creating the path for the cars to drive along Seven Mile near Telegraph.

In Redford the story was different. At least one full lane of Seven Mile was clear for traffic driving westward.

Fortunately, there have been no major accidents Wednesday evening, in part because traffic volumes are low.
